Ah the art of politics. Mitt Romney's a master at this...say anything, anything to appeal to everyone. You've got a strong pro life audience, suddenly you've flipped from being pro choice ( as you were to get the vote for governor of the moderate voter in Massachusetts ) .....healthcare mandate? Yes! I mean no, I mean yes!

Clearly these two lawmakers, Senator Heller, a Republican and Dennis Rehberg, also a Republican ( are we noticing a pattern here?) are willing to say anything, do anything and pretend to be anything the voters want. And it's sad. And I'm unsure all voters will buy it as America is smarter than that. Congressman Dennis Rehberg and his party have and continue to demonize the affordable care act and now he wants to be a champion of something that he and his ilk have deemed "Obamacare?" And if Congressman Dean Heller is truly fed up with both parties, why is he not an Independent such as Senator Bernie Sanders? I'm not buying this shift to the middle and I hope the voters in both Nevada and Montana realize they're being played...and the game, is politics.
